    • Travelling to and from Heathrow FAQ

    There are many options and it really depends on whether you are looking for speed, convenience or keeping the cost down.

    • Fastest: The Heathrow Express train takes just 15 minutes between Paddington and Terminals 2 or 3 and a few minutes more for Terminals 4 or 5.
    • Most convenient: Hail a Black Cab outside your terminal for a door-to-door service.
    • On a budget: An adult standard single London Underground fare from Heathrow to Zone 1 in central London is £6.30 for adults (January 2022). The Piccadilly Line serves all terminals at Heathrow.
    We recommend short stay or business parking for quick trips and long stay if you are parking for more than a day. We also strongly recommend pre-booking and, don’t worry, you can always change your mind without charge.
